[mapguide-users] Markups that show info on mouseover

[Zac Spitzer]

The big difference between MG 6.5 and MGOS is that 6.5 loads the data
client side,
whereas MGOS does most things server side.

This is much slower and is no where near as snappy as 6.5 was. Mainly
because there is a round trip to the server for each tooltip, or
selection.

Check out http://www.openlayers.org, which can consume mapguide maps
and it allows you to add markers google style. The fusion framework
also uses this underneath.

Using the openlayers approach is much closer to the 6.5 development style
